MEDIHONEY ADHESIVE DRESSINGS
WITH ANTIBACTERIAL MANUKA HONEY
Medihoney adhesive dressings are infused with antibacterial
medical grade Manuka honey to assist the skin’s
natural healing process of minor wounds, burns, cuts,
grazes and blisters. The use of dressings with Manuka
honey helps the wound repair process, by naturally
cleaning the wound of dirt and bacteria and reducing
the risk of infection. New Zealand Manuka honey is
hailed the world over for its incredible natural healing
properties, so it’s no wonder it works so well in a first
aid dressing. The dressings are waterproof, latex free
and sterile, which is great for people with delicate skin
or latex allergies. “Our natural Manuka honey works so
well because bacteria doesn’t like the environment it
creates in a wound. The pH is too low for them; there
isn’t enough water for them to survive; and the honey’s
natural sugars create an outflow of wound fluid into
the dressing, so that bacteria and dirt in the wound are
lifted up and taken away from the area that’s trying to
heal,” Comvita chief executive Scott Coulter says. “This
also keeps the new skin cells hydrated, enabling the
wound to heal faster and with less scarring.”

SPX FLOW…WCB UNIVERSAL
3 (U3) SERIES POSITIVE
DISPLACEMENT PUMP
When it comes to pumps within the food, beverage and dairy industries, SPX FLOW has an
impressive brand history. The new WCB Universal 3 (U3) Series Positive Displacement (PD) pump
has a front-loading seal, is designed for long life and delivers outstanding hygienic performance.
Incorporating many of the best features of the long-proven Universal pump designs, the new series
offers even greater levels of robustness to further extend life time and reliability. Improved seal life
and greater torque capacity are created with shorter, larger diameter shafts. This both increases
reliability of the units and enables their use in higher pressure applications. Longevity is further
enhanced with years of engineering expertise and proven manufacturing processes to deliver the
close running clearance of the rotors; something for which the Universal Series is well known for
within the food and beverage industry. www.spxflow.com
MAGMIXER MBE
MAGNETIC MIXER
SPX FLOW has announced the release of a new magnetic mixer, the
MagMixer MBE, from its Lightnin brand. The new mixer offers excellent
mixing performance utilising a magnetic coupling and has been designed
for reliable operation and regulatory compliance in life science applications.
The unit has no shaft penetrating the tank and so requires no
mechanical seals; significantly reducing the risk of leakage or microbial
contamination. It provides high torque capacity with optimum cleanability
and, with bottom-mounted magnetic agitators, is ideal for low-viscosity
blending, dissolving solids and solid suspension in sterile applications.
Exceptional performance and high torque capacity at a surprisingly low
initial cost. www.spxflow.com.
